I FIELD GOALS | By MARK M. UPP | Decatur teams certainly fared much better last night than they did a week ago. The Commodores had smooth sailing over the Bellevue sea while the Yellow Jackets found the Columbia City basketball hall an ideal place, to swarm. The young Yellow Jackets t'.ned in another vicb ry over the Jefferson varsity here, too. The Kirkland Kangaroos held a nice practice session at the expense of the Monroeville quintet last night, 't he Kangaroos ran up a score of 68 pointk without exerting themselves greatly, and held the Allen county beys to 13 points in each half. The Hartford team will enter the game against Kirkland, on the latter's tioor tonight, in a crippled condition. Norvnl llnnter, star offensive man of the Hartford Gorillas has an attack of the mumps and Holloway, a forward, is out of the lineup with an injured eye. Coach Windmiller said last night he doubted if Banter would I e in condition to play in the section a! tournament, two weeks from today. L. Arnold, Kirkland forward, is in poor condition, also due to a severe cold. T’> ■ Commodores "knocked ’em cob '"-t night when they trotted onio the floor in their ' flashy new green and gobi sweat suits and playing uniforms. It is th* first time that the Commodores have had sweat pants. Tonight the Yellow Jackets meet their old rival from down the G. R. and one spot, the Portland Pantheds, in this city. This will be the last game of the season for the Yellow Jackets before the sectional tournament, unless a game Is scheduled for next week-end. The Commodores take on another Adams county quintet tonight, meeting Berne at Berne. A little more

Bluffton (playing Huntington at Huntington, and South Side playing Kendallville, at Kendallville. Both games have a strong bearing on the conference championship. North, the star center of the Bellevue team, has been out of the linenn since the Commodores played at Bellevue early in the season. He tore the ligaments in one ankle in that game. One of the Skelly boys is out with the same kind of an injury, too. and was on crutcheM last night. The Buckeyes mlsse dboth of these boys and the team will be much stronger when they get back in the harness. Moks like this would be a fine night for teams to get snowed under. 0. H. S.
